Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my support for Sam Galeotos, Republican candidate for Wyoming Governor. I grew up in Green River, attended U.W. in Laramie, and lived in Cheyenne for many years prior to making Star Valley my home.   

While living in Cheyenne, I met and came to know Sam very well. We served alongside each other on the local Boys and Girls Club board and participated in many other volunteer and community causes.

Based upon my personal experiences and familiarity with Sam, I am certain he is the best candidate and will make an excellent Governor.  Sam has said that he will help us better prepare students for the workforce and create high paying jobs

Sam has experience doing just that through his success in the private sector. Sam will also help our existing government work with business, not against it. Sam’s seven priorities are exactly what Wyoming needs at this critical juncture of decreasing revenues and need for diversification.  I believe Sam will deliver on his promises to:

• Improve economic growth;

• Implement the government efficiency studies commissioned by the Legislature;

• Achieve better investment returns for the state;

• Maintain a strong education system;

• Improve healthcare in Wyoming;

• Connect Wyoming to the outside world;

• Empower local communities in the state.

• Create high-paying jobs in Wyoming

Sam has a proven record as a successful leader of both national and international technology businesses.  Sam is passionate about Wyoming and can steer it in a positive direction. Sam doesn’t just “talk the talk,” he “walks the walk.”  Sam has my vote this year as the candidate who will serve Wyoming well and help us prosper into the future.
